Okay, I think I have a weirder bug report than Anne's.


I got root tickets and did:

		rsh plover -l root


I got connected and got:

Warning: No Kerberos tickets obtained.

plover#


but then I couldn't type at the plover# prompt. I tried ^c, ^q, and
^d, but nothing did anything. I killed off the rsh process, got my
prompt (now fondly known as "%m %D %t :-)") back, and now couldn't
type at that.  No control characters worked, typing "reset" didn't
work, nothing.

I thought maybe it was a one-time plover thing, so I connected to
matisse, but the same things happened.
